Papier-mache pandas, created by French artist Paulo Grangeon, are seen displayed in front of the Tian Tan Buddha, a major tourist attraction which measures 34 metres tall and weighs 250 metric tons, at Po Lin Monastery on Hong Kong's Lantau Island on June 10. The pandas arrived in the city on Monday, launching the month-long "1600 Pandas World Tour in Hong Kong: Creativity meets Conservation" organized by a local art organizer, according to the official press release.
